hundred millions sterling which Peter Thellusson had calculated upon for his great-great-grandchil dren dwindled down to very modest proportions, not at all conspicuous among the thousands of first class fortunes at present assessed to the income tax. There are now no more millionaire Thellussens ; no more members of the family in Parliament; and no more banking establishments bearing the famous name. Peter Thellusson, besides overlooking the Court of Chancery, made one fundamental mistake in his calculation. lle did not remember, or perhaps did not know, that large wealth, as it must be acquired, so must be kept together, by active human brains and industrious human hands. Interest and compound interest alone will not do it.—Railway News. 0 E MARKET AND 00UMBRCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The money market continues in a favourable course. There has been leas inquiry for accommoda tion, and the capital on offer shows a small increase, tinder this circumstance the mercantile public are receiving greater concessions, the discount este. btisbments having negotiated short-dated bills at 7-1- per cent. The arrivals of specie announced this morning comprise £8,489 by the Europa, from America; £14,000 by the Kosciusko, from Port Phillip ; and £18,788 from Geelong, by the Champion of the Seas. About £38,000 in gold was taken into the Bank on Saturday. During the past week the intervention of the Whitsuntide holidays has been the cause of a partial suspension of business in most of the manufacturing districts. At Manchester, however, prices of both cloths and yarns have been well sustained, and in the woollen districts of Leeds, Bradford, and Hud dersfield high rates have been current for both Wools and manufactured goods. Rather less ani mation has prevailed in the hosiery ani lace de partments at Leicester and Nottingham, while the saute may be reported in the hardware districts of Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton. Two O'CLOCK. At Paris this morning, according . to Reuter 's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rented were 66f. 65c. Heavy. The market for the English stocks and shares has been very much depressed this morning. The ope rations have been exceedingly limited, and at an early hour the funds declined .1- per cent., from which they have not recovered, Consols being 911 for money, and 90 /, less the div., for the account. The New Three per Cents. are 881 891 ; Exche quer Bills, 8s to 7s die.; India 5 per Cents, 105/ s ; sod the Bonds, 15s die.

COMMENCEMENT OF TRINITY TERM. This being the first day of Trinity Term, and there being no public reception of her Mbjesty's judges and Queen'e Counsel by the Lord Chancellor, the judges entered their respective courts at Westminster Hall at the usual hour. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Before Justices Crompton, Blackburn, and Shea.) DAVIS V. WELLS. Mr Brown, on the part of the defendant, moved for a rule calling on the plaintiff to show cause why all pro ceedings against defendant in this court should not be stayed, and that the plaintiff should be ordered to pay all costs of such proceedings, and also of this application, on the ground of vexatious proceedings. The plaintiff had been a depasitor in the National Bank of Deposit, of which Peter Morison was manager, and which company had been wound up under the 20th and 21st Vie., cap. 78, before the Master of the Rolls, under which the defendant, Mr Wells, who had been a director, was decided to be liable as a contribu• tory ; and to relieve himself from which claim and liabili ties under the company, he entered into a compromise with the official manager, and the creditors' assignees assented a a meeting duly convened by advertisement, under the pro visions of the statue, which made the appointment binding on all the creditors of the company if two-thirds of those who proved their debts before the Master agreed to such appointment. The appointment was duly certified by the Master of the Rolls, the compromise being that £5,000 should be paid in settlement or discharge of all claims upon him, the cfficial manager and the creditors' assignee executing a deed of release which was duly carried ; and the £5,000 raid by the defendant. The plaintiff proved her debt at the winding up of the company, and was entitled to participate in the assets in hand of the official manager, of which the £5,000 contributed by the defendant was the bulk. Not withstanding the release executed by the official manager under which plaintiff had proved her debt, she commences an action, got the defendant under 73d section of the Joint Stock Companies Act to recover the amount of ber claim against Wells as a contributory. The defendant complained that he was being made the victim of vexatious proceedings, as already three actions had been brought against him by the same attorney, but in the names of dif ferent depositors, and in one case the Court of Common Pleas granted a rule; but after hearing Mr. Ogle, for the plaintiff, for several hours, the court, without calling on the other side, made the rule absolute, staying the proceedings with costs, and the present action was entirely similar, and on his own responsibility he not only asked for the rule to stay proceedings. but that the plaintiff pay the costs. The Court granted a rule to show cause, COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Registrar Roche.) IN RE F. W. WIND HAM. This was a first meeting for a proof of debts and choice of aasignees in the case of Mr Windham, who was de scribed as of Westbourne-terrace and Cromer, coach pro prietor. It will be remembered that the bankrupt came before the court on his own petition, but subsequently a creditor's petition was substituted in the belief that it would afford an opportunity for a more extensive inquiry into the bankrupts property. Mr Lawrence appeared for the bankrupt; Mr Chidley, Mr Brougb, Mr Roche, and several other gentlemen for creditors. The number of creditors attending were comparatively few, having given powers of attorney to vote in the choice. A proof on behalf of a Mr Richardson, a tavern keeper, Anchor-street, Church-street, Shoreditch, for a sum of £5OO on two bills of exchange of £250, discounted by Mr Richardson, but after a short discussion, it was allowed to stand over till the next meeting. Mr. Howlett, of the Music Hall, Norwich, sought to prove for 125 for a pianoforte, but it proved that it had not been delivered, and the learned Registrar declined to allow the creditor to give up the property and prove for the balance. A proof was tendered by Mr. Binghan), a tailor, for a bill of £415 for clothing. The proof was admitted subject to the creditor giving up a mortgage he had on bankrupt's yacht. A proof was tendered on behalf of Mr. Breeze, a partner with the bankrupt in the stage coach business, but upon Mr. Windham being examined it appeared that no account had been taken of the relative position of the parties. The proof was ordered to stand over. Proof to the amount of about £1,500 were admitted, and Mr. Smith, of Norwich, veterinary surgeon, was chosen assignee. Mr. Lawrence complained that several of the creditors who had given power of attorney had rescinded them and given them to other persons, which he considered unfair and improper; but no doubt they had received a strong in ducement to do so. He then applied for an allowance to the bankrupt of £lO a week, which was objected to on the ground that the bankrupt executed a deed which would, no doubt, be hereafter declared perfectly valid, by which he was to receive £530 a year for life, with an addition, as certain property fell in. The allowance was granted till the next meeting, which is appointed for the 28th of June. Mr. Lawrence is solicitor to the issue. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day, MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ASSAULT ON A COFFEE-HOUSE KEEPER.—Thomas Wealerson and Alfred Pike, two young men, described as "artiste," of No. 44, Upper Charlotte-street, Fitzroy square, was charged before Mr Knox, with being trunk and assaulting Air. James Hudson, coffee-house keeper, of 397, Oxford-street. From the evidence of Mr Hudson, it appeared last night the defendants entered his house and ordered some reiresh merit, with which they were served. Directly after Pike began making use of the most disgusting language, but the other advised him to be quiet, Mr Hudson then requested Pike to desist, when he set to abusing him, and at last Mr Hudson was obliged to turn both defendants out of the house, when Pike struck him on the breast with his fist, and Weatherson seized a stick which Pike had in his hand and struck Mr Hudson several blows across the forehead with it. The defendants were then taken into custody. Wm. Nelson, 19.5 C, proved seeing the defendants assault Mr Hudson. Mr Knox said it was evident from the appearance of Mr Hudson's forehead that he had been much Mused. The defendant Pike had not left any marks, and did not appear to have injured Mr Hudson, but ho had grossly miscon ducted himself. He should, therefore, one him 20s, or 14 days; and Weatherson 40s, or 14 days. SHARE MARKETS—This day. share' Railways. Paid. I 13.14. St et et 50 ZO Wol., and Str.

A THIEF CAPTURED BY A PAIVNBROICER.—Henry Larking, aged 30, was charged with being in the unlawful possession.of a silver watch, which had been stolen or un lawfully procured. Mr. W. Carpenter, foreman to the business of his uncle of the same name, No. 68, Cannon-street-road, St. George in-the-East, said the prisoner offered him a silver watch in pawn, and asked for a loan of 503 upon it. He asked the prisoner if it was his own watch, to which he replied in the affirmative. He asked him the maker's name and number on the watch, and the prisoner said he did not know, and bought the watch of a man in a publichouse for £2 lOs on Mond Ay last, but he did not know the man or the sign of the public house. He then detained the prisoner and gave him into custody. The watch was a silver lever, the maker Spilgelhutton, Whitechapel-road, and it was worth five guineas. _ _ William Jenkins, a police-constable, No. 346 K, said the watch was sold by Mr Spilgelhutton 18 months ago to a customer, named James Scott, of No. 4, Carter-street, Evan's-street, Pop ar, If the prisoner was remanded, he hoped to find the owner. The Magistrate said the conduct of the pawnbroker, Mr Carpenter, was highly creditable, and as the prisoner would not give any satisfactory account of himself or the watch he should remand him for a week, DARING HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—James Jacobs, a well known young ruffian and thief, was charged with stealing a purse containing £1 Gs. 9d. from the person of Johnson Gustav Johnson, a Danish seaman. The prosecutor i 3 lodging at No. 30, High-street, Shad well. He was passing along Rateliff Highway on Satur- day evening, when the prisoner and two •other boys sur rounded him. One of them pointed to some dirt or mud on his left shoulder, and ho turned his head asido to look at it, when another shoved against him, and the prisoner put him hand in the sailor's right hand trousers pocket and took from it a purse containing £1 G. 9J., and all the sailor's papers. Johnson immeiiateiy seized the prisoner, who threw the purse away. The eailor left the prisoner and recovered his purse and money. The prisoner ran away. was pursued, and after a long chase was stopped by police constable 185 K, who said the young thieves in the district had got up a new dodge. They stopped sailors, called attention to something on the shoulder of the person stopped, and when his head was turned dived into his pocket and took out anything it contained. The prisoner reads no defence, and as the Dane was about to sail with his ship, the prisoner was summarily disposed of, and sentenced to three months' imprisonment and bard labour, MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE. The demand for wheat in the country markets held on Saturday ruled very inactive, and in some instances a further decline took place in prices. The spring corn trade was dull, and the quotations had a downward tendency, Flour changed hands at rather lower prices. The amount of business doing in produce on the Conti nent and at New York for export to Great Britain is small, and prices continue to give way. Up to our market last week the arrivals of English wheat were limited, the imports Irom abroad amounted to 3,304 quarters of wheat, 3,088 bales, 13,062 oats, 1,327 beans, 5 peas, 132 tares, 9,862 linseed, 11,240 oilseeds, 3,000 maze, 5 sundry seeds, and 75 sacks of flour. Fresh up to-day, the arrhals of English wheat were very mcdeiate, but most samples were received in good condi tion. There was a decided improvement in the demand both for red and white qualities, but without leading to any „: yimee in pricc. , s, compared with Monday last. At an e the supply offe re d was d i sposed of, at the recent fall a the quotbtion:: riYin With foreign wheat the rdarYat was hut moderately supplied. The improvement in the lilnzlish wheat trade inducEd holders to demand rather more money for rs.e red AtLerican descriptions. On the whole, however, the trade ruled steely, and last Monday's currency was well supported. Floating cargoes of grain were in but moderate request, yet prices ruled firm. The supply of barley on sale was seasonably extensive. The malting season is now over, Ind the trade for grinding and distilling qualities ruled in active on former terms. The malt trade was quiet at last Monday's currency. The supply of oats was moderate. For nearly all qualities there was a steady demand, at previous quotations. Beans, the supply of which was small, ruled firm, at full currencies'. Peas were in moderate request, and prices rued firm. The market was scantily supplied with most descriptions. For flour there was a moderato demand, at full rates. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASUE.E.

S a l es From our own grazing districts the arrivals of beasts fresh up this morning were limited ; but the general qua lity was prime. The supply from Scotlsnd was good; but from Ireland the receipts were limited. All breeds of beasts commanded steady sale, at an advance in the quota tions compared with Monday last of 2d per Blbs. The ge neral top figure was 4s 10d; but really prime Scots and crosses realised 5s per Blbs. Amongst the supply were about 400 store beasts. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 2,000 Scots, short horns and crosses; from other parts of England, 600 various breeds ; from Scotland, 459 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 130 oxen and heifers. The show of sheep was only moderate. Compared with some previous weeks there was a falling off in their qua lity. All breeds sold steadily at an improvement in value of from 2d to, in some instances 4d per 81bs. Prime Downt and half-breds sold at 55 per Blbs. Lambs were in good request at full prices, viz,, from 6s 4d to 7s 6d per 81bs. About 700 came to hand from the Isle of Wight.

THE GREA.T EPSOM MEETING. The races set for decision to-morrow are the Heathcote Plate, the Woodcote Stakes, the Brighton Stakes, and the Rous Stakes. The Woodcote Stakes looks a certainty for Plantagenet, if Lord St. Vincent runs ; and Blatney ought to carry off the Heathcote Plate. The Rous Stakes looks a good thing to Soapstone. The great event of the meeting is fixed for Wednesday, when nearly two or three hundred thousand of the London folks will be present to witness the decision of one of the most open, best-betting Derbys that has ever been decided at Epsom. The field will in all probability comprise the following : PROBABLE STARTERS AND JOCKEYS. HORSE. SIRE. JOCKEY. General Peel Y. Melbourne Aldcroft Forager Stockwell Cambusoan Paris Ely Uoast Guard Saunterer Birch Broom .... Idle Boy .. J. Goater Scnttish Chief .... Lord of the Isles A. Edwards Baragah Prince Arthur Weatherbit Osborne Historian Valiant Hollyfox Ackworth Miner ...... Wild Dayrell Whiteley Copehagen - Washington Charleston Wells Guerilla Appenine Weatherbit Surat Salon Blair Athol Idler .. Idle Boy War DaEce Fandango Kngt. of Snowden Fazzoletto Warrior .. - I. Walton - The Major Strafford .. Y. Melbourne Peon - Privateer GENERAL PEEL, belongs to one of the most high-spirited noblemen on the turf. He has maintained the premiership in the betting ever since his easy victory in the Two Tho usand Guineas, Lord Glasgow never intended he should run for that race but for the unfortunate breaking down of First Flight; his preparation was consequently hurried. Having beaten Paris easily, who was one of the best two yr-olds that performed last season, it will take a clipper to beat him on Wednesday. He has improved nearly 101bs. since he ran in the Two Thousand Guineas. SCOTTISH CHIEF has been very steady in the market during the whole of the winter. In all probability he will start first favourite, being what is termed the " gentleman's horse," but I question his ability to beat General Peel. CAMBUSCAN beat Scottish Chief last year when only halt prepared, and no doubt he will do the same this. The wonderful trial he had with Revolver and Bathildo I do not believe in, although holding his chance almost second to none. BIRCH BROOM, frona 7 having beaten Merry Hart in his trial, is supported as if it was all over but shouting, but no Merry Hart would have won the City and Suburban had it not been for the false starts. FORAGER, from a report that he met with an accident in his trial with Little Stag on Saturday, has been knocked out to the 100 to 1 division, It was reported at Tattersall's on Saturday that he was fcratched, but as I have not yet heard of any confirmation of the rumour, I should advise that no liberties be taken with him, as he may yet become a rattling favourite. Lord St. Vincent, no doubt, would have put the pen through the horse's name if there had been any truth in the report. Should he see the starter those who have been operating will have to get out at a very short price. COAST GUARD Will Succumb to CaMbUSCES3I. BARAGAH, a dark horse in John Scott's stable, is now supporta in preference to his stable companion Hollyfox. The latter ran well in the Two Thousand Guineas, and if the former is better, he will be a dangerous customer for the favourites. COPENHAGEN is again supported, although he cut such a wretched figure in the Two Thousand. John Day's tea tica are generally so mysterious that it would be best to keep him on the safe side. ELY, as a two•yr• ald, was a good performer, and is the most likely of ths outsiders io pull through. VALIANT has been supperted, in earnest by the Epsom division, but he would be a valiant man that, would stand him. Very likely the Epsom, division will now be enabled to get rid of some of their Flash-in-the-Pan winnings. HISTORIAN will not ba able to reverse positions with his Two Thousand victor, although he may run into a place again. BLAIR ATHOL is the best bred horse that will strip for blue ribbon honours, but from the equivocal position he held in the market I must look for the winner elsewhere. SURAT is a certain starter, and has been nibbled at at out side prices. He is a Rataplan colt. ___. PARIS and IDLER belong to the wily American. The latter has been occasionally supported. If Ten Broeck wins the Derby it will be with the aid of the latter. Prince Arthur has been occasionally supported during the winter. John Osborne should know what he could do with Little Stag, and if he is only 71b better his chance must be great. Having for the last six years forestalled the judge in his decision, with the exception of Caractacus's year, when my selected, The Marquis, only suffered defeat by a head, I shall now attempt to forestall the judge on the present oc casion by placing GENEU,AL PEEL SCOTTISH CHIEF CAM BUSCAN The Oaks field will be made up from the following : Fille de l'Air, Linda, Molly Carew, Tomato, Saragossa, Effie, Madame Walton, Hippolyta, Lady Hylda, Antoinette, Breeze, Finesse, Too/ Tooi, Masquerade, Mazza Ladra, Lobelia, The Hersey filly, Sardinia, Sister to Drake, Star beam, Alice Fauconberg, Cutaway, and Teneriffe. With out going through the performances of the different horses, I will close my remarks by stating that TENERIFFE or FILLS DE L'AIR will win, giving the preference to the former. A FRESH MAN.

He also obtained the Pusey and Ellerton (Hebrew) Scholarship in 1561. In a Convocation held this day at 2 o'clock, it was pro posed that the statute "De Examinatione Candidatorum qui non cunt de copore Universitatis" shall continue in force for one year, dating from the first day of Michelmas Term, Mi. Professor RAWLINSON would not oppose the second decree, which was rendered necessary by the double failure of the Council in their attempt to legislate on the subject. It was not a satisfactory arrangement, but he accepted it as the best, under existing circumstances. He rose chiefly to answer the attempts which had been made to show by statistics that the examinations had done no good to the religious education of the country. Up to 1861 it was certain that no good had been done, but since the original statute was modified in that year, a great improvement had taken place. The percentage of candidates who accepted, and who passed, the religious examination was greater in 1863 than in any previous year. The certificated students' who pissed in Divinity, who were 274 in 1858, rose to 370 in 1862, and to 393 in 1863. He urged that there was no sufficient reason for substituting the compulsory for the voluntary system, as the latter was working so well. The Cambridge system, to which appeal had been made, was really voluntary. Dr. PUSEY maintained the accuracy of his statistics, but had not brought them with him, and could not enter into details. What he had specially remarked, and intended to call attention to, was that the number of those placed on the third division who passed in religion was constantly dimi nishing. This was, he thought, mowing to the fact that the religious examination did not help towards a pass. In this respect the Cambridge plan differed from the Oxford one. H e proceeded to explain the reasons which had made him consent to drop the statute last brought forward, and make t he present temporary arrangement, and justified the Colin• preference of their own plans over the advice of the delegates. There would be time now to give full considera tion to the various amendments of the scheme which had been suggested —as to the propositions of Professor Smith and Professor Shirley. The recent debates had caused him great pain, especially as invClving differences with one whom he had known and respected :Or 30 years. The MASTER of BALLIOL (Dr. Scott), 0 the person re ferred to, must say that he had nothing to retract from the observations which he had made on former occasions. Im putations of a painful character had been thrown out against the delegates. They had been accused of violating the statute, and of maintaining thrir violation in spite of a legal opinion given against them. Again, they had been accused of mistranslating in their regulations the important clause conscientice cdusa." These charges had not hitherto been retracted. With respect to the degree of weight to be attached to the recommendation of the Delegates, what he had wished to impress on the house was that it was just in proportion as the Delegates were familiar w ith the entire working of the system that they felt strong l y as to th in expediency of the plans which the Co uncil had brought forward. Dr. FusEY said that he did not mean to charge the Dole pHuseeyhasdrentreavcetration. meant to g th a e te c s ip w in i i t o h a m re a f in er t r a e in d in te g hthedeirbLieolgaitvicene.o, of the Statute after D D r r . . p Sc u o s T E T y g h l e a d dl n y e a t cc r e e p tra ted ete D d r . make the charge which the Master of . _Balliol supposed him to have made.

THE REGIUSPROFE.i'SORSHIP OF GREEK. The Earl of DERBY referred to some remarks made by the noble and learned lord on the woolsack in the course of his speech the other evening on the occasion of the debate upon the subject of the endowment of the Regius Professorship of Greek at Oxford. The observations of the noble and learned lord conveyed what had been considered a reflection upon the university, which, he said, had obtained certain grants from the public, certain exemptions from taxation, and especially an exem l e. tion of the privileges given to the Queen's printer, on con ditions that they should devote a portion of the emoluments to the endowment of the professorship of Greek. He denied that when these privileges were conferred upon the Uni versity there was any stipulation for the endowing of the Greek professorship, nor any stipulation for the endow ment of the professorship. Were the charge substantial he he should be as ashamed as he was proud of his connection with the University. After a short discussion, in which the Lord Chaneellor, the Earl of Derby, and Earl Granville took part, the sub , ject dropped.

Sir K. PEEL said that Government had considered it advisable to discontinue sending convicts to Australia or any other penal settlement, as transportation was at tended with expense and was objectionable on other grounds. THE RESEARCH. Sir J. HAY asked the Secretary to the Admiralty, if he would state to the house whether the arrangement in the Research, contrived by Mr Reed for carrying heavy ordnance is satisfactory, or whether the explosion has not been found very destructive to the ship herself. Lord C. PA GET said that there was no doubt there was some crockery broken in the experiments that had taken place on board the Research, and there were some other injuries inflicted on the vessel, but these circumstances were attributable to the want of the necessary preparations having been made for the experiments. Sir J. EL YHINSTONE said that this was a question of to much importance to he dismissed in a cursory manner. He contended that, from information he had received from hn officer it was clear the vessel had become unseaworthy. He thought this was a question which the house ought to take up. (Hear, hear.) Lord C.
